The South African government wants dog, cat and snake meat to be sold in shops and restaurants, claiming that, due to the drought, people will starve. There is no threat of starvation in this country and there are hundreds of sources of food, so the consumption of dog, cat and snake meat is completely unnecessary and a totally abhorrent concept. It would also open up millions of possibilities for abuse, as well as theft of people's beloved pets, and many other horrendous acts. Please don't let this vile practice become legal in our beautiful country. Please protect our precious pets. Please do the right thing. Vote against the sale and consumption of dog meat in South Africa.
